FAN MAIL FRIDAYS: How To Prevent Concealer From Creasing


Howdy! It's April already and 2 weeks to go before my beach trip and two months to go before my out of the country vacays (yes! plural!). I'm soooo excited! :D

Now before I go to a meeting, here's a useful FMF for everyone! Question is from Ria:

Hi Martha,
I've been a long time reader (since 2010, I think) and I've left a comment here and there, but I don't think I've ever asked a question. Anyway, here is my question: how do you prevent under eye concealer from creasing? I have lines similar to yours on my under eye area and although I seldom use concealers, sometimes, my under eyes just become so dark (like nowadays) so I feel the need to conceal. The problem is that no matter what I do (moisturize before concealing; I've tried setting it with powder and not setting it), the concealer tends to crease and deposit in the lines; it's the same thing no matter what the consistency of the concealer is. Any tips?
Ria

Hi Ria!

Creasing is a common makeup problem, most especially of those who are living in the tropics just because we sweat and oil up often here due to the climate. I do experience creasing before, but when I employed these techniques, creasing occurred less and less; here's the tip list.

Phytorelax Keratina Intensive Reconstruction Spray and Deep Reconstructor Mask Review + Swatch

Here's a review on Phytorelax Keratina Intensive Reconstruction Spray and Deep Reconstructor Mask.

PRICE: Spray- P675.00; Mask- P750.00
FROM: Free (Press sample)
OTHER LOCATIONS: Available in all Beauty Bar boutiques

THE VERDICT:

Keratin is a vital protein that can be found on the external shaft of a hair strand; it's what keeps hair healthy and vibrant. When you start subjecting your hair to salon treatments, Keratin gets stripped off gradually, leaving your damaged, dry, brittle, frizzy, and lackluster.

Thankfully, some brilliant people (and possibly with really damaged hair) found a way to create Keratin and restore it to the hair; you can have your dose of Keratin in the salon and even in electronic hair tools, but the cheapest is through a Keratin- infused hair product; there's one gem of a hair brand at Beauty Bar called Phytorelax and Keratina hair care range is what has revived my hair lately; when your hair is damaged, unruly, or frizzy AF, this brand will come to your rescue!

PHYTORELAX KERATINA INTENSIVE RECONSTRUCTION SPRAY AND DEEP RECONSTRUCTOR MASK IN DETAIL

Phytorelax is an Italian brand of face, body, and hair products that are Paraben and formaldehyde- free, and made with natural ingredients. Keratina is their Keratin- infused range dedicated to reconstructing hair and bringing back its softness, smoothness, and shine; this range uses Hydrolyzed Keratin for quicker and easier absorption.

We all need to pamper our senses once in a while, but sometimes, the wallet is saying no; and even if you have the money to do so, you simply don't have the time because of all the work, traffic, and not to mention, the effort of going from one place to another.

This is why 'at home' beauty rituals are becoming increasingly popular; from at home massage therapies, microdermabrasion, dermarolling, etc., you name it, and a DIY version is already out there or about to be released.

I can be kuripot (frugal) when it comes to beauty pampering treatments and I'll share with you one of my favorite beauty brands in making this possible: Leaders Insolution.

NYX Matte Bronzer in Medium and Illuminator in Chaotic Review + Swatch

Here's a review on NYX Matte Bronzer in Medium and Illuminator in Chaotic.

PRICE: P590.00/each
FROM: Free (Press samples)
OTHER LOCATIONS: Available at NYX SM Megamall; SM Department Stores

THE VERDICT:

Ah, NYX, Beauty Blogging's pillar product. Every Beauty Blogger has come across this brand, and, at one point, has owned A LOT of their cult favorite Round Lipsticks (me included) and went gaga over their products. This brand is one of the firsts to prove that quality doesn't really have to come at an expensive price tag; it's been YEARS since I owned a NYX product and I got these new NYX babies namely Matte Bronzer and Illuminator just recently and I am quite impressed with how they look now: the brand looks more posh and chic! With the recent changes in the look and feel of their products, NYX still lives up to the "good quality=affordable price" principle (and even exceeded it) up to this very day.

Let me go and swatch these babies for you. :)

NYX MATTE BRONZER IN MEDIUM AND ILLUMINATOR IN CHAOTIC IN DETAIL

Bobbi Brown Art Stick in Electric Coral Review + Swatch + Price

Here's a review on Bobbi Brown Art Stick in Electric Coral.

PRICE: P1,500.00
FROM: Free (Press sample)
OTHER LOCATIONS: Available at: Bobbi Brown Rustan's Makati; Bobbi Brown SM Megamall; Bobbi Brown Ayala Center Cebu; Bobbi Brown Essences, Powerplant Mall; Bobbi Brown Rustans, Shangri-La Mall

THE VERDICT:

Thea, one of the executives of Bobbi Brown Philippines mused to me that Filipinas are not fond of the color orange because it 'darkens' the skin further; well, it will if you don't find the right orange for your skin type and besides, let's be more proud of our morena skin. :)

Orange is actually a really nice color, a summery alternative to Red and, in my opinion, a more fashionable alternative to hot pinks; its mod look and feel exemplifies fashion to me!

One Orange lippie that I'm digging right now is Bobbi Brown Art Stick in Electric Coral; it's bright, but not tacky and it's a vintage orange that enhances morena skin, but doesn't make it look muddy.

SUMPTUOUS SUNDAYS: Hot Star


I don't know about you, but I LOOOVEEEE fried chicken with a passion; it's a comfort food that will always capture our hearts and a treat we can never go wrong with. I recently discovered Hot Star, a fried chicken joint that offers another version of my favorite food, but this time around, it's 12 inches longer.

SRSLY. They have a 12- inch long chicken.

For starters, Hot Star is a popular Fried Chicken joint originating in Taiwan; it opened in Manila about 2 or 3 years ago and is mainly a pop- up eatery in the busiest areas of Manila, waiting for chicken- starved tummies and souls. They do have restaurants too and one of which is at Eastwood City.

PRICE RANGE: Signature Chicken: P145.00; Sides: P45.00; Chicken Cut-Ups: P139.00; Dessert: P15.00

BBQ CHICKEN SKIN

What's lovable about this is it has a tasty soy glaze enriched with the flavor from Sesame seeds; what's more is it doesn't feel oily in the mouth and stays crunchy for more than 30 minutes!

ORIGINAL LARGE CHICKEN 

I put the spoon in the photo for size approximation. No kidding, their fried chicken cuts are GIGANTIC that your can share it with 2 or 3 people! I'd also advise you to share the large chicken because the taste kinda' gets to you after some time just because it's huge.

You might be thinking that the 12- inch chicken is all batter; here's a photo to prove that it's 90% chicken. Hot Star uses imported chicken meat; they do not join chicken pieces to form this 12- inch goodness, but rather pounds one whole chicken meat to expand it so that the flavour will be continuous within the meat.

The chicken has an "Asian" taste, meaning it's boasts of spices and a tangy taste; you can eat it on its own; personally, I love it with white rice!

 The signature large chicken dish comes in various flavors too; this is Chili Pepper.

STICKY RICE

A signature of Hot Star. It's sticky, lightly salted rice with pork bits; they said it goes well with the signature chicken cuts; it does, but it's pretty heavy on the tummy so I would share the large chicken if I'm going to eat it with this. Personally, I would prefer white rice over this because it's a bit overwhelming.

CHICKEN CUT-UPS

New on their menu. It's basically chicken cuts paired with rice or spaghetti; the chicken cut up tastes pretty much like the signature large chicken so order this instead if the former is overwhelming you.

ALMOND ICE CREAM

This ice cream tastes a little unique (like almond lychee soup in ice cream form), but I like it!

Overall, Hot Star is a cool experience; the 12-inch chicken is really something that you should see for yourself and share with friends or family!

**Hot Star Eastwood is located at Mezzanine Area, Eastwood City Walk 2, Eastwood City. Call them at 997-0271. Visit HOT STAR PHILIPPINES on Facebook for more information about this restaurant.

PRICE: P2,500.00
FROM: Free (Press sample)
OTHER LOCATIONS: Make Up For Ever boutiques in SM Mega Fashion Hall and Greenbelt 3

THE VERDICT:

One of my biggest Beauty Blogger dreams is to own each and every single shade of Make Up For Ever's Artist Shadow collection; if ever that happens, I'd literally cry and feel like I won a million dollars, and I'd probably be flooding you guys with eyeshadow tutorials! This will be part of my bucket list and I will surely enjoy for now this MUFE palette that brings me pretty close to that dream: Artist Shadows 3 Spring Flowers. It's the first time I owned a MUFE eyeshadow palette and I must say, the quality is just as good as the singles!

Women's Health: Getting A Specific Health Plan, Just For You


Specific Health Image
Specific Health Image

A health care plan for women is a great way to ensure that you are checked at regular intervals. With the number of risks a woman faces medically, it is a good idea to sign up for a long-term form of care so that you do not need to worry about looking for a specialist to take care of your health at the last minute. Many plans include various services like menopausal treatment, prevention or management of osteoporosis and cancer detection.


Gene testing for Breast and Ovarian Cancer



A BRCA test is a simple blood test where the genes get analyzed. The mutations that take place in the genes need to be studied in order to see if you have a risk of getting ovarian or breast cancer. Those who possess this specific type of gene change often have a relatively high risk of getting one of these cancer forms. If you have any kind of family history of breast or ovarian cancer, you should get this test conducted so that the doctor can then tell you how to look for any signs of the cancer so it can be caught as early as possible if it does affect you.

Osteoporosis Management


Osteoporosis Management Image
Osteoporosis Management Image

This disease is present in men and women. But studies have shown that women after menopause, especially Asian women, are at a higher risk of getting osteoporosis. However, a basic combination of supplements, medicines and specific exercises for your bones could go a long way in keeping the bones stronger and preventing this problem or managing it as best as possible.

Coping with Menopause


Menopause Image
Menopause Image

Menopause is a turning point in a woman's life because this is the last stage of the menstruation cycle. Different women have different symptoms during this time so it is nice to prepare yourself and talk to a doctor. Not only will you be able to cope with the changes in your body better but you will also have someone to talk to during this time.

Self-Exams for Breasts


Mammograms help to detect breast cancer. By doing a self-exam at regular intervals, you can compare past reports and visit the doctor if and when you notice any change in your breasts.


The Need for Women's Health Care


Women health image
Women Health Image

Your health is very important. Many women suffer from different kinds of health issues that may be in their genes or due to environmental factors. Right from giving birth to dealing with menopause, every woman has to deal with various complications. And the risk of cancer and other diseases is also growing. This is why it is very important for a woman to take care of her health and go for regular check-ups so that any problem can be caught in the early stages and treated accordingly. Through a dedicated healthcare plan designed for women, you can get specific tests that diagnose common problems and have access to specialists who will advise you and give you preventive as well as remedial treatment plans.

Nivea Cleansing Wipes X Glamourbox Challenge: Pretty Pop


Welcome to the third and final Nivea Cleansing Wipes X Glamourbox Challenge; sorry, it took a while, but come to think of it, I just did it in the right season, summer, because this makeup is so apt right now!

This challenge is the hardest amongst the three in my opinion because it featured electric colors; the challenge was not only to recreate this look, but to also make these colors work on my morena skin tone. After a few trials, I came up with a warm skin tone- friendly version of this look. This just proves that warm skin can rock electric colors!

I will show you the products I used and how I came up with this look.

Health Problems

Health Problems Caused by Sleep Apnea


Sleep Apnea Image
Sleep Apnea Image

For instance my colleague was always very tired at work although he thought he had between 7 and 8 hours of sleep every night. He was overweight and knew he often snored. He got tested for sleep conditions. It seemed that because of the apnea he had the heart of a 55 year-old man. His real age? 27.

Here are some of the most common health problems caused when untreated:

health problems caused image
health problems caused image

Heart disease - The short suspensions of breathing essentially causes very low blood oxygen levels, which, as you can imagine, are very bad for a person. People with sleep apnea are exponentially more likely to have a heart attack, because of the stress that it puts on the heart. Other problems like atrial fibrillation and stroke are common, which, again, increase the likelihood of a heart attack.



Acid reflux - Sleeping with the mouth open, on our back, in a position that allows your airways to be obstructed is also the perfect position for acid reflux to occur. The lining of the esophagus is not designed to handle the kinds of acids that the stomach produces, so regular acid reflux can actually eat away at that lining and cause ulcers. While sleep apnea does not directly cause acid reflux, these two conditions are directly linked.

Acid reflux image
Acid reflux image

Insomnia - Insomnia is one of the most common health problems caused by sleep apnea. When breathing stops (the most common and defining symptom), the body has to wake itself up in order to start breathing again. This means you get less sleep, and definitely a much lower quality of sleep.

Insomnia Image
Insomnia Image

Weight gain - Being overweight can cause sleep apnea and having apnea can cause you to gain weight. It may trigger the release of ghrelin - a hormone that can make the body crave sweets and fats. And because you are sleeping less, you will not have energy to exercise or maybe even energy to make a healthy meal, when fast food is so much easier.

Weight gain image
Weight gain image

Headaches - Morning headaches are a good indication that you have sleep apnea. This is caused largely by insufficient oxygen in the bloodstream and high blood pressure, both of which are a direct result of sleep apnea. If you wake up with frequent headaches, it might be time to get tested and find a decent solution depending on the severity of your condition.
